- 1862 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. WB-101. MS-63 (PCGS).
An intensely lustrous, satin to semi-reflective example further enhanced by iridescent rose-apricot peripheral highlights. The onset of the Civil War the preceding year resulted in a precipitous drop in half dollar production at the Philadelphia Mint in 1862, the mintage of this issue amounting to just 253,000 circulation strikes as opposed to 2,887,400 pieces for the 1861. Enough Mint State coins have survived to preclude the 1862 being classified as a major rarity, but it does number among the scarcer and more underrated No Motto Liberty Seated issues from the Philadelphia Mint in Uncirculated condition.
Provenance: From the E. Horatio Morgan Collection. Acquired from Jonathan K. Kern, date not recorded.
PCGS Population: 13; 32 finer (MS-66 finest).
PCGS# 6307. NGC ID: 24J9.
